Matt Le Tissier gives opinion on where Manchester United need to strengthen

The Red Devils finished sixth in the Premier League this term but still qualified for the Champions League courtesy of their 2-0 Europa League final victory over Ajax.

Jose Mourinho's side have been tracking some big names but look to have missed out on their No.1 target Antoine Griezmann.

Former Southampton star turned pundit Le Tissier thinks a new centre-back will be a priority for the Portuguese this summer.

And he also thinks a new creative player could be arriving at Old Trafford in the next few weeks.

He told Sky Sports: "It's going to be an interesting transfer window for Manchester United.

"First of all, I think they need a standout centre-back.

"They've got numbers in that area and I think Eric Bailly will be decent but they will need somebody to partner him long-term.

"They've got a couple of young lads coming through as well but again they'll be used as back-ups, so they can probably move a few of the other ones on.

"Further up the pitch, I like Juan Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan will be better next season but I still think they could do with another option behind the striker with Wayne Rooney unlikely to still be there.

"In terms of strikers, I think we'll see Marcus Rashford play more centrally next season.
